Question

Applogies for what I have no doubt is a noob question.

I display several percentage values in a Grid View in ASP.Net

I want to be able to set the NumberFormatInfo.PercentPositivePattern Property which I think I have to bring in a Globals “property” to be able to adjust?

from its Default 0 to 1

This is the property I need to adjust

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.globalization.numberformatinfo.percentpositivepattern(VS.71).aspx

I just cannot figure out how to do it! 🙁

This will remove the space between the % and the numbers.

How can I do this for the entire application?

Can I put some code in the WebConfig or?

Thanks

You can modify the format using the DataFormatString property on the BoundField:

<asp:BoundField DataField="YourPropertyName" DataFormatString="#0.##%" />

You can set the format to the custom format you like, according to this article:
